: TalkLeftRights Groups Release Peliminary Indictment of Bush for Torture
By Jeralyn
Former President George W. Bush is the subject of the an Indictment by human rights groups in Switzerland. You can read it here.
Bush canceled his trip to Switzerland so the Indictment can't be filed as there is no jurisdiction without his personal presence. The Center for Constitutional Rights says he needs to be careful with his future international travel plans.
The Preliminary Bush Torture Indictment was prepared so that it could be used for individual victims to file cases against George Bush in any country where the Convention Against Torture provides jurisdiction.
...Swiss law requires the presence of the alleged torturer on Swiss soil before a preliminary investigation can be open. The complaints could not be filed after Bush cancelled, as the basis for jurisdiction no longer existed.
